Movies that brought you to tears

Only 2 of them for me.

The Deer Hunter (the first Russian Roulette scene, and when SPOILERSNick kills himselfSPOILERS END)

Five Easy Pieces (Scene when Nicholson talks to his father)

Das Boot, the ending.

"Last Picture Show" (several scenes).
"Cavalleria Rusticana" (the Franco Zeffirelli film version)--the overture and the Intermezzo.

The Green Mile.

I cried the first time I watched it, and have become misty eyed every time since then.

Philadelphia, the ending with the home movies.

Man on The Moon, seeing Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) in the Coffin and the Carnegie Hall scene.

Forrest Gump, I always get misty eyed at the end.

Philadelphia (the ending).
Forrest Gump (when he meets his son for the first time).
The Champ with John Voight. ( The ending )
Miracle (when they beat the Russians)

Heck, there are probably a lot more that I just cannot think of right now.


Don Cardi

I'll list five:

For the child in me: "Bambi"

For my feminine side ( :rolleyes: ): "Beaches"

and I'll never be able to watch these without crying:
"Mr. Holland's Opus"
"Imitation of Life"
and the top tearjerker of all time -
"Field of Dreams"

Philadelphia (the end..those home movies...that music)
The way we were ( the lost love you can never really have)
Beaches (for anyone who has a girlfriend)
The Notebook (anyone in love)

Forrest Gump, when he talks to Jennie's grave.

-Forrest Gump
-Braveheart
-Schindler's List
-A Beautiful Mind
-Gladiator
-The Deer Hunter
-Finding Neverland
-JFK
-Malcolm X
-The Passion of the Christ
-Titanic
-Patch Adams
-The Power of One
-The Untouchables

The Untouchables made you cry? Well, I could see that considering how terrible it is. I damn near cried myself hearing all those corny lines.

SPOILERS When Malone (Connery's character) died and was trying to give Ness (Costner's character) the information on where to find teh book keeper END OF SPOILERS

The Passion of the Christ

There is probably more but I can't think of any right now. I need to think about it.

Green Mile
Forrest Gump
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (the end)

None others I can currently think of.

The end of GF3 (and for those wondering no I didn't buy a ticket lol)

I'm yet to see Field of Dreams.

But from those I can remember:

About Schmidt
Amadeus, right on Lacrimosa even after 100 times of rewatching.

Brian's Song -- Gayle Sayers' speech when he wins the George Halas award. The whole "heart of a giant and that rare form of courage" speech gets me every time. But I always get teary eyed when he says, "I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him."

tony b.

Good for you.

The Champ
Lost in Translation
Finding Neverland
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Titanic

Only one time, but I can't remember what movie it was.

And I sometimes get emotional, then I get shaking eyelids, but I never actually cry when watching a movie.

First, let me tell you that I absolutely ADORE crying when watching a movie! I don't know why, but the more I cry the more I like the movie! Actually I think crying is very theurapetical! That being said, I obviously have a veeeery long tearful list... and I'm going to mention only some titles as they come to mind.

Schindler's list
The pianist
Titanic
Shadowsland
Dying young
Ghost
Umberto D.
Steel Magnolias
City of Angels
What dreams may come
E.T.
A.I.
Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing
Lassie movies
Captain Courageous
Life is Beautiful
Waterloo Bridge


to be continued....

Since I am probably the most easily manipulated person in a movie theater, the list is very, very long. However, I will name some of the top ones:

SPOILER ALERT


Backdraft (Whose your brother Brian? You are, Steven)
Without a Trace (that drive home with the little boy and Judd Hirsch gets me every time)
Brian's Song, for the very speech named above
The Untouchables, during the scene mentioned above (What are you prepared to do?)
My Girl, during the wake, when the little girl wants to know why he isn't wearing his glasses

I could go on and on, but I'm the woman who has cried during many an Oprah episode, so that will give you a hint as to how easily I drop those tears. My mother calls me something in Italian, which I don't know how to spell, but it translates to "pissy eyes".

- E.T.
- The Green Mile
- Blow
- Leaving Las Vegas

Oh yes, Brian's Song. How could I forget to list that one! Billy Dee just breaks me up, especially when he says " I love Brian Piccolo." ( getting choked up as I type this). The theme itself can make you cry.


Don Cardi

Perhaps, "Schindlder's List" would be the film I get most sdened by. Schindler's breakdown just before he must depart from his Jews... That gets to me. That's powerful acting and perfect use of an orchestral score.

Other films that get to me; "It's A WOnderful Life" when George Bailey runs through Bedford Falls embracing life again. It's just so good.

There have been a few movies that brought tears to my eyes. Some I can think of at the moment:

"The Godfather Part 2" (Boat scene and the ending)
"The Godfather Part 3" (The Flashback when Anthony is playing- The ending)
"Schindler's List"
"The Pianist"
"Carlito's Way"
"The Passion of the Christ"

I KNEW there was another one, couldnt remember it,

the ending of the Shawshank Redemption

Not actually "crying" but when tears come to my eyes:
GF3- Anthony singing w/ the flashback
Brian's Song
Field of Dreams
Deer Hunter- When they are loading the coffin in the hearse, just because Cazale was only months from being the one in the casket when they shot that, and the "God Bless America" song

Quit it guys. You don't have to say you cry at movies to show you're all sensitive to get in ladies underwear.

no, you don't but it helps sometimes.

Well, I love funny guys much better.

Crap! I've been discovered!
:p

Enzo, not only you but a hell of a lot more people here also. I'd even say most here are genuine about there feelings but there's definitely guys who also 'sell' that aspect of their personality. It reminds me of Gareth in the British version of the Office. This character, actually a wimp, plays up to his misperception that he's a tough part time Army guy but can be sensitive at the same time:

"People look at me, they say he's tough, he was in the army he's gonna be hard, by the book. But I am caring, and sensitive. Isn't Schindler's List a brilliant film?"

Just 2,

Titanic, The Very First Movie I Cried At, And Water Ship Down, I Also Cried At That, lthough, I Was Only 3, And 3 Year Olds Dont Like Watching Innocent Little Rabbits Get Shot.

Ok, am I the only person alive who hasnt seen Schindlers List...My fiance has the movie I think i will watch it tonite...
How could I forget.. The passion of the Christ.
And the first time I saw GF3.

Curious; at which part did people cry watching Passion of the Christ? I mean, it's pretty horrendous stuff from the start, so it could be possible to cry early on. Would anybody who has cried at the film agree that it is a mindnumbingly tedious film, I wonder?

When Mary remembered her son's childhood while they were taking him for crucifying.

If I remember correctly, "Passion of the Christ" was such an emotional experience to certain ppl, that one woman actually died in the cinema during the crucifixion scenes, she simply couldnt take it.
Has anyone heard about any other case when someone died out of emotional turbulence while watching a film?

When I was young, I heard a similar "story" for "exorcist" or "evil dead" or some such old horror movie. But I am positive it was an urban legend, rather than a fact

All urban legends are based off an element of truth

when vito corleone gets shot in The Godfather part I and Fredo starts screaming out "Papi!". very emotional for me.

Not one single movie has ever brought me to tears don't know what that says about me.

Your screen name says it all..... :p

Not been here a couple of weeks.

I nearly blubbed when Benny was killed in City Of God.

But my worst is, for a reason I have spent many years trying to work out, the end of Repo Man. It's just that bit when the radioactive Chevy Malibu rises into the sky and Miller says: 'Life of a Repo Man is always intense.' and The Plugz tune is starting up and the car zooms off into the starry sky. I don't know if it's because it signals the end of a good film well made or if it's the tying up of a mad story with nods to lines that have gone before... I just don't know. I watched it again recently and was feeling a little bored (I think it has run it's course) and then... that end. Still gets me. I think it's the music. It's so melancholic. Like something has finished and there's no going back.
